Linux Backtrack 5 - Revolution

Linux Backtrack 5 code name 'Revolution' is in my opinion a wonderful OS.
It is a pen testing variant of Ubuntu.
It has tons of great tools that are relatively easy to use.
You can run Windows programs via the Wine application.
It is free, and you can run it 'Live' straight from a flash drive.


Here is something straight from the official Backtrack website:

Welcome to Backtrack-Linux.org, home of the highest rated and acclaimed Linux security distribution to date. BackTrack is a Linux-based penetration testing arsenal that aids security professionals in the ability to perform assessments in a purely native environment dedicated to hacking. Regardless if you’re making BackTrack you Install BackTrack, boot it from a Live DVD or thumbdrive, the penetration distribution has been customized down to every package, kernel configuration, script and patch solely for the purpose of the penetration tester.
